    Only five years? If you’re the fuck lighting that cat on fire in the first photo then you should literally be burned alive at a minimum.

      It isn’t, the first case I thought of happened in France, it’s linked in the last paragraph of the article.

        2023 is really late. Source from Polish Wikipedia links to 2018 article (in Polish, not a hugely credible website) https://www.eska.pl/news/patostreamy-co-to-jest-wulgarne-tresci-ponizanie-i-glupota-na-youtube-aa-9c9d-5JRV-qhZz.html

        Similarly English Wikipedia points to Russia in 2010. Unless you mean first prosecutions rather than first streams

          I meant the first case that came to my mind, it’s of course possible there were some before, I simply didn’t know about them.

    So, no pictures exposing torture or genocide. Got it.

      I don’t know whether the law is written broadly enough to do that.

      There are of course free speech concerns here, but if the law only targets cases where violence or other criminal activity was engaged in specifically to film it, even I don’t see that this contradicts my broad understanding of free speech rights.

      …no. Did you see the articles about the death of that French streamer? It’s about that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trash_stream

      It’s the modern version of bum fights.

        these are absolutely unreal. causing your girlfriend to die of hypothermia and then bringing her dead body back indoors to stream next to her corpse goes worlds beyond what i’d guessed a “trash stream” would be, holy shit 😦

        yeah, i think i’m okay with this being banned 😓

          the terms from other countries seem much better, “pathostream” (which i’d translate to “psychostream” to get the message across) or “rotstream”.

        I was thinking Jackass but bum fights is probably more accurate. God humanity is bleak sometimes.
